Definitions

  • This invention relates to a barge unloading system and, more particularly, to an improvement in a system for unloading dry, bulk, particulate material from a barge, ship or other container into an intermediate holding container or pressure vessel, commonly called a reloader, and thereafter transferring the material into a storage container such as a silo.
  • venturi Another system, which is also well-known, is the use of a venturi to induce the desired suction necessary to fill the reloader.
  • air from a blower is forced through a venturi to create a primary air stream and this primary air stream induces a suction at the secondary inlet of the venturi.
  • the induced suction draws the particulate material into the reloader from the barge.
  • a reciprocating valve is part of the venturi system and this valve moves between opposite positions to alternatively permit or prevent the induced suction from being created.
  • the present invention eliminates the need for the reciprocating valve as part of the venturi system by providing for completely by-passing the venturi during the emptying of the reloader into the pressure vessel.
  • venturi systems also include a flap-type discharge valve which operates based upon pressure differentials to alternately permit or prevent emptying of the reloader.
  • flap-type discharge valve which operates based upon pressure differentials to alternately permit or prevent emptying of the reloader.
  • the present invention overcomes this problem by providing hydraulic pressure solenoid controlled valves through which the particulate material flows rather than valves which operate solely based upon pressure differentials.
  • venturi operated systems are extremely expensive to manufacture.
  • prior systems usually require special cranes and hoisting equipment to move the equipment relative to the barge or ship.
  • the present invention is directed to an improved unloading system, method and apparatus for transferring dry, bulk, particulate material from a ship, barge, or the like into a temporary pressure vessel such as a reloader and thereafter transferring the material to a storage container or silo.
  • the present system includes a venturi through which air is forced to create a primary air stream and to induce a suction in the pressure vessel thus drawing the particulate material into the pressure vessel. Thereafter, the venturi is by-passed to terminate both the primary air stream and the induced suction and the air is introduced into the pressure vessel to transfer the material from the pressure vessel into a storage container.
  • the various valves through which material flows are hydraulic pressure solenoid controlled rather than controlled to open or close in response to pressure differentials, thus avoiding the problems which occur if the valves were not fully and completely closed.
  • the present invention provides many benefits when compared to the prior art.
  • the apparatus itself can be handled by either conventional cranes or by the conventional hoisting apparatus with which ships are usually equipped.
  • the present invention provides greater efficiency by minimizing the overall length of the induced suction path.
  • the present system provides a remarkable decrease in cost and increase in efficiency over the prior art.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of the system, method and apparatus of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial diagrammatic illustration of a modification of the present invention.
  • the present system includes a pressure vessel or reloader 10 which is to be filled with cement powder or other dry, bulk, particulate material from a barge, ship or the like which material is ultimately transferred to a more permanent storage container such as a silo 12.
  • the pressure vessel 10 is a generally cylindrical container having a domed top 14, a generally vertical side wall 16 and a conical or domed bottom 18.
  • the pressure vessel or reloader 10 is generally circular in plan view.
  • Means are provided for filling the pressure vessel with dry, bulk, particulate material.
  • a nozzle 20 is provided and is to be inserted into the dry, bulk, particulate material.
  • One end of the nozzle is open for insertion into the dry, bulk, particulate material and the other end of the nozzle 20 is connected to one end of a conduit 22.
  • the other end of the conduit 22 enters the bottom of the pressure vessel at an inlet port 24.
  • Intermediate the length of the conduit 22 is a valve 26.
  • the nozzle preferably includes rotating mechanical aerators such as the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,140,350.
  • the cyclone dust separator 28 has an inlet 29 connected by conduit 30 to a port 31 near the top of the vertical side wall 61 of the pressure vessel.
  • a blower 34 or source of compressed air is provided with the output of the blower connected to a conduit 36.
  • Compressed air from the blower flows through the conduit 36 and through a venturi 38.
  • the venturi 38 has a primary inlet 39, a secondary inlet 40, and an outlet 41.
  • the compressed air enters the primary venturi inlet 39, flows through the venturi 38 and exits from the venturi outlet 41 into a conduit 42.
  • the flow of air as described is referred to as the primary airstream or flow of primary air.
  • the path of the primary airstream continues from conduit 42, through a valve 44 to another conduit 46.
  • the conduit 46 is connected to the silo 12.
  • a conduit 48 is provided from the top or outlet of the cyclone separator 28 to the secondary inlet 40 of the venturi 38, and this conduit 48 has a valve 50 intermediate the cyclone separator 28 and the venturi 38.
  • the blower 34 which functions both in the filling and in the emptying of the reloader, is connected through a conduit 52 and through a valve 53 and a second conduit 54 to an inlet port 56 adjacent the bottom of the pressure vessel.
  • An aeration pad such as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,085,975 may be provided in the conical bottom 18 of the pressure vessel 10.
  • An optional check valve 58 may be provided to permit ambient air to enter conduit 54 and hence enter the bottom of the reloader 10.
  • a valve 60 may be provided on the opposite side of check valve 58 from the reloader so that closing valve 60 by-passes operation of the check valve 58.
  • check valve 58 operates to bleed air into the pressure vessel during filling of the pressure vessel, to aerate the particulate material, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,085,975.
  • Air from the blower 34 also flows through conduit 52, a valve 61, conduit 62 and valve 63 to the bottom of the cyclone dust separator.
  • an elongated hollow vertical pipe or conduit 64 which has an open first end 66 interiorly of the pressure vessel and substantially adjacent the lower conical bottom of the pressure vessel.
  • This elongated pipe or conduit 64 extends upwardly along substantially the entire length of the pressure vessel 10 and extends outwardly through the domed top 14 of the pressure vessel and thereafter through a valve 67.
  • the opposite side of valve 67 is coupled to the conduit 46.
  • a high level detector 68 is provided in the pressure vessel to provide a signal when the level of the particulate material in the pressure vessel reaches the height of the detector.
  • valves 26, 44 and 50 are open and those valves identified with odd reference numerals, valves 53, 61, 63 and 67 are closed.
  • Valve 60 will also be open if it is desired to aerate the dry, bulk particulate material during the filling of the pressure vessel.
  • Blower 34 is actuated to force air through the conduit 36, the venturi 38 and the conduits 42, 46 to the silo.
  • the flow of air through the venturi from the blower may be described as a primary air stream or a flow of primary air.
  • the flow of primary air through the venturi induces a suction or reduced pressure at the secondary inlet 40 of the venturi. Since a flow path is established from the nozzle 20, through conduit 22, through the reloader 10, conduit 30, cyclone separator 28 and conduit 48 to the secondary inlet 40 of the venturi, the induced suction exhausts the air in the flow path.
  • the continuing flow of air from blower 34 through the venturi sustains the induced suction which causes the dry, bulk, particulate material to flow through the nozzle 20 and conduit 22 and into the reloader to fill the reloader.
  • the particulate material flows as a fluidized medium and any air flowing with the dry, bulk, particulate material into the pressure vessel will continue through the conduit 30 and into the cyclone separator 28. It may be expected that some of this air will be laden with dust and particulate material and, as this dust laden or particulate laden air enters the cyclone separator 28, the dust and particulate matter settles to the bottom of the cyclone separator 28 thus cleansing the air.
  • the dust-free air exits from the cyclone separator through conduit 48 and into the secondary inlet 40 of the venturi 38.
  • the blower or source of compressed air 34 continues to operate inducing a suction to fill the reloader until the particulate material reaches the high level indicator 68 and the filling cycle is now complete.
  • valves 26, 44 and 50 are closed and valves 53, 63 and 67 are opened. Since valve 26 is closed, no more particulate material enters the reloader. Since valves 44 and 50 are closed, air from the blower 34 will not pass through the venturi. Thus the venturi is by-passed, there is no longer a primary air stream flowing through the venturi and there is no longer any suction induced by the venturi. Air from the blower 34 flows through the conduit 52 rather than through the venturi.
  • Valve 61 is a manually controlled valve which functions to adjust or divide the air flow into two paths, the first path being through conduit 62 and the second path being through conduit 54.
  • valve 53 may be utilized to aerate the dry, bulk, particulate materials in the pressure vessel during the unloading of the pressure vessel. It should be pointed out that aeration may be accomplished during filling the reloader, during emptying the reloader or both. If it is desired to aerate only during emptying the reloader, valve 60 should always be closed. If it is desired to aerate only during filling the reloader, valve 53 should always be closed and valve 60 should always be open.
  • check valve 58 admits air into the reloader only when the pressure in the reloader is less than the ambient air pressure.
  • valve 61 is in the nature of a throttle valve in that it may be adjusted to regulate the amount of air flowing therethrough while all the remaining valves may have only a fully open and fully closed position.
  • a throttle valve 61 insures that some air flows through the valve 53 and conduit 54 to aerate the material in the pressure vessel 10 during emptying, if such aeration is desired.
  • the remainder of the air, and by far the majority of the air flowing through the conduit 52 passes through the throttle valve 61 through conduit 62 and valve 63 into the bottom of the dust collector 28 thus cleaning out the dust collector and blowing all of the dust collected therein through conduit 30 and back into the pressure vessel 10.
  • the air flowing into the pressure vessel 10 through conduit 30 thus pressurizes the reloader and forces the dry, bulk, particulate material down within the reloader into the opened bottom 66 of the conduit 64, up through the conduit 64, through valve 67 to the conduit 46 and thereafter directly to the silo.
  • the silo may be provided with dust collector bags or filter bags 70 to remove any dust or particulate material from the air entering the silo before such air enters the atmosphere.
  • the present invention has certain unexpected improvements when contrasted to the prior art. For example, using a blower pressure of 40 p.s.i. and a small reloader (i.e., 4 foot diameter 6 foot height, nominal volume less than 70 cubic feet) the reloader may be filled in 17 seconds and emptied in 20 seconds resulting in a transfer rate in excess of 100 tons per hour from barge to silo. This is much faster than prior devices at a cost of about 25% of the cost of prior devices. To accomplish this result, we have discovered that the suction path must be as short as possible since the induced suction must exhaust the suction path at the beginning of each fill cycle. For this reason the conduits 22, 30, and 48 should be extremely short and to achieve this objective, the venturi, dust separator and nozzle may all be physically attached to and move with the reloader.
  • the present invention is portable, i.e., the reloader, venturi and cyclone separation, along with their associated conduits, may be lowered into the hold of a ship.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a system which differs from the system of FIG. 1 primarily because the discharge conduit 64 is positioned exteriorly of the reloader. Thus there is no aperture in the domed top 14 of the reloader.
  • the inlet conduit 22 from the nozzle 20 includes a "T" fitting 80 intermediate the valve 26 and the inlet 24.
  • One leg of the "T” fitting couples conduit 22 and valve 26 to the inlet 24 and particulate material thus enters the reloader 10.
  • the other leg of the "T” fitting couples the inlet 24 to valve 67 and to conduit 64.
